Chapter 262

On the halfway up Cloud Hidden Peak in Medicine King Valley, Yang Kai and Dong Qingyan, with their medicine baskets on their backs, were searching for medicinal materials in the forest.

The task assigned by Old Xiao this time was not difficult to complete. Those medicinal materials were not precious or rare, and they also grew among these peaks.

The only thing was that the requirement for the age was a bit harsh.

At least they had to be over thirty years old.

The two traveled through mountains and rivers, searching carefully. It was not until afternoon that they had collected almost everything.

“There is still one kind of Iron Bone Grass missing. Aunt Xiang said that ten plants of Iron Bone Grass are needed.” Dong Qingyan counted on her fingers, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed： “Cousin, we haven’t found a single plant yet.”

Yang Kai looked around and was moved in his heart. He said, “I’m afraid there is no such herbal medicine on Cloud Hidden Peak. Let’s go to other places and take a look.”

Dong Qingyan rolled her eyes and said with a giggle, “Do you mean… a place like Pill Saint Peak？”

Yang Kai glared at her.

Dong Qingyan understood tacitly and walked towards Pill Saint Peak with Yang Kai.

Pill Saint Peak is a forbidden area of Medicine King Valley. Ordinary disciples are not allowed to approach within three hundred zhang from the top of the peak. But below three hundred zhang, they can come and go freely.

The two of them had a clear goal and walked all the way to Pill Saint Peak.

“Let’s look separately.” Yang Kai coughed lightly and said.

“Mm.” Dong Qingyan nodded with a light smile. Naturally, she knew what Yang Kai wanted to do and didn’t expose it. She just told him, “Be careful.”

“I know.”

Carrying the medicine basket, Yang Kai approached the top of Pill Saint Peak as if nothing had happened. While casually looking for Iron Bone Grass around, he was also secretly vigilant about the movements around him.

Half an hour later, as Yang Kai approached intentionally or unintentionally, he was almost only a hundred zhang away from the top of the peak.

Looking up quietly, Yang Kai found a stone statue standing on Pill Saint Peak. This stone statue was the statue of Pill Saint.

The stone statue was at least about thirty zhang high and imposing. Even though Yang Kai was a hundred zhang away, he could still see the position above the chest of the stone statue.

The stone statue was mottled with dots, and no one knew how many years it had stood here. Through wind and rain, it still stood firm.

Yang Kai had the intention to release his spiritual consciousness to investigate, but he was also a bit cautious.

Although he couldn’t see anyone now, there must be experts guarding over there.

Dimo. Can you quietly sneak in and take a look at the situation？” Yang Kai transmitted a message and asked.”

If there are Divine Movement Jing experts up there, this old slave will have nowhere to hide.” Dimo replied.”

His current strength was not too high, and he simply couldn’t hide his demonic energy. Moreover, his characteristics were too obvious. Wrapped in the Soul-Shattering Cone, he was a black qi and simply couldn’t hide from the eyes and ears of Divine Movement Jing experts.

There was no way at all？ He had come to Cloud Hidden Peak for more than a month, and he still hadn’t figured out what mysteries were hidden over there.

Who is it！” Just as Yang Kai was frowning and worried, a furious shout suddenly came from above.”

A figure immediately flew down from above and landed directly in front of Yang Kai, looking at him coldly.

This person was definitely a Divine Movement Jing expert, and his strength was not low. Although most of the disciples in Medicine King Valley were alchemists, there were always some experts responsible for fighting and defense.

Which peak’s disciple are you？ Don’t you know that within three hundred zhang below Dan Saint Peak is a forbidden area？” That person coldly scolded, with a bad expression.”

Yang Kai frowned and his mind turned raprap.

“I’m asking you a question! Who is your master？ Didn’t he tell you what the consequences are for barging into Dansheng Peak？”

Yang Kai then clasped his fists and said, “Greetings, senior. This junior is a disciple of Elder Xiao from Yunyin Peak. Ordered by Elder Xiao, I came down the mountain today to gather some medicinal herbs.”

“Master Xiao?” The man’s expression froze, and then he suddenly realized and said, You are the teenager who just joined Yunyin Peak a month ago?

“That’s right, this junior！”

The man looked Yang Kai up and down vigilantly and cautiously, and a strand of spiritual consciousness spread over. After a while, it was taken back.

The cold expression gradually eased.

Yang Kai then said, “This junior was only focused on looking for medicinal herbs and didn’t expect to have come here. Please forgive me, senior.”

The man nodded and said, “If it were other disciples, the death penalty could be avoided today, but the living sin would be hard to escape！ But considering that you have not been in the sect for a long time. Today’s mistake can still be forgiven. Leave quickly, and don’t make the same mistake again. Otherwise, you will be severely punished！”

Yang Kai had no choice but to retreat.

After Yang Kai left, the man’s figure flickered, and he returned to the top of Dansheng Peak to continue guarding.

From a distance. Yang Kai looked back again.

There was indeed a meditation Jing expert guarding there. What should he do? If there was a way to get close to Wanyao Pond, there might still be a chance to catch a glimpse of the mystery. Now, he couldn’t even get close, let alone anything else.

Walking back with a depressed expression on his face, from a distance, Yang Kai heard Dong Qingyan arguing with someone about something. His pace couldn’t help but speed up a little. In a short while, the clear voice reached his ears.

“This Iron Bone Grass was clearly discovered by me first. How can you do this？” Dong Qingyan’s tone was a little aggrieved.

The voice of another person came： “Junior Sister is joking. This herbal medicine is the common property of our Medicine King Valley. Naturally, whoever picks it first gets it. Moreover, if we follow what Junior Sister said, then all the herbal medicines on this mountain were discovered by us first. After all, we have lived here since childhood.”

“Who is your junior sister？” Dong Qingyan said angrily. “I am the disciple of Master Xiao. According to seniority, all of you have to call me Shishu！”

“Cough cough…” The three young disciples of the Medicine King Valley who were confronting Dong Qingyan had an embarrassed look on their faces and were actually unable to refute.

Xiao Fusheng accepted disciples in his later years, so although Dong Qingyan was very young, her seniority in the Medicine King Valley was higher than that of ordinary people. She was of the same generation as Qin Ze, and these young people were naturally a generation lower than her.

“What, do several nephews want to snatch what Shishu has taken a fancy to, huh？” Dong Qingyan hummed triumphantly.

“What Shishu…” The leader muttered dissatisfiedly. “It’s just by good luck that you were able to be accepted into the patriarch of Shishu If Shishu Xiao were willing to let me try that poisonous pill, I could also pass the test.

“Hmph!” ” Dong Qingyan wrinkled her small nose. “It’s useless to say these things now. Honestly send up the medicinal materials that uncle has taken a fancy to. Otherwise, I will go and tell your masters that you several… are disrespectful to elders and violate the rules!

At the end, the voice suddenly rose a lot.

The complexions of several young disciples of the Medicine King Valley changed. This big hat was something they couldn’t afford to bear. In the Medicine King Valley, only the precepts of Yunyin Peak were looser. Or rather, only Yunyin Peak had no precepts and was completely free. Like the other peaks, there were many rules. The words of being disrespectful to elders and violating the rules were no joke if they were spread it out.

But their ages were all older than Dong Qingyan’s, and they were also men. How could they be willing to admit defeat in front of this little girl？

The leader’s eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind. He chuckled and gritted his teeth and said, “Since Uncle is a disciple of Yunyin Peak, then it must be a genius in alchemy!”

“That’s natural！” Dong Qingyan was extremely proud. The little girl was also obsessed with alchemy. Praising her for being beautiful was not as good as praising her for her excellent alchemy skills to make her happy. As soon as she heard this, she immediately became arrogant.

“is Uncle Shi looking for Iron Bone Grass?” the man asked again.

“Yes！”

The number of Iron Bone Grass in the Medicine King Valley is not much now. I wonder how many Iron Bone Grass uncle wants?

“Ten plants. I have only found two plants…”

That’s really a coincidence. We have also collected a lot of Iron Bone Grass here. It should be enough for what uncle needs.”

“You are willing to give them to me？” Dong Qingyan’s expression lit up with joy, and she suddenly felt that these nephews looked very handsome and cute.

The man chuckled: “Naturally, it’s impossible to give them away for free… However, nephews want to use these Iron Bone Grasses as a bet to have a match with the master. If uncle can win, not only will we offer the Iron Bone Grasses, but if uncle takes a fancy to other medicinal materials, you can also take them away at will. What does Uncle think?

Dong Qingyan frowned and pouted her small mouth when she heard this.

Just when she didn’t know what to do, Yang Kai’s voice came from over there: “Who wants to have a match? I’ll accompany you!

“Guard Yang！” Dong Qingyan’s expression lit up with joy, and she waved to Yang Kai.

Yang Kai’s figure flashed, and he came to Dong Qingyan’s. He looked at the three Medicine King Valley disciples in front of him: “Do You want to have a match?”

“It’s him, the other disciple who passed the test and also worshipped under Yunyin Peak！” One of the Medicine King Valley disciples gritted his teeth and said, with envy and jealousy on his face, wishing he could take his place.

“Bullying women is not a sign of ability. If you have anything, come at me.” Yang Kai glanced at the three of them.

Yang Kai’s such arrogance immediately aroused the competitiveness of the three Medicine King Valley disciples. The leader said： “Good, since you have this intention, I’ll let you see my skills！”

“Wait a minute！” Yang Kai raised his hand and gestured. “You just said that the bet is the Iron Bone Grass. Does that still count？”

“Naturally it counts！”

“That’s good then.” Yang Kai nodded. “You three come together.”

The three of them were stunned when they heard this and looked at each other in dismay.

“Please enlighten me!” Before Yang Kai’s voice fell, he had already rushed forward. The three people only saw a flash by and there were several thumping sounds. The three alchemists of the Medicine King Valley all fell to the ground and let out a series of miserable cries.

“So weak?” Yang Kai frowned, looking suspicious.

He originally thought that these people were so arrogant that they must have some skills under their hands, but he didn’t expect that they couldn’t even withstand a single blow from himself. Those attacks just now were just to test, and he only used 50% of his strength.

“You… why did you make a move to hit people！” The alchemist who had just spoken fell to the ground, tremblingly pointing his finger at Yang Kai, with a look of indignation and sadness on his face.

“Nonsense!” Yang Kai sneered. It’s a sparring, what else would you do if you don’t hit people?

Without saying more, he walked forward, rummaged through the medicine baskets of these three people, and put all the Iron Bone Grass into his own possession.

“Guard Yang, let’s hurry up and go！” Dong Qingyan’s pretty face was flushed red. She pulled Yang Kai and rushed towards Cloud Hidden Peak as if fleeing for her life.

“You’re going too far！” The shout from behind was both aggrieved and desolate. “I’m going to tell Uncle-Sect-Grandpa Xiao and let them punish you！”

“Why are they like this?” Yang Kai frowned. “Didn’t they want to have a competition? But they’re still shouting after losing. They’re too weak.”

“Cough cough…” Dong Qingyan’s face turned even redder.

“Why are we running？ Those Iron Bone Grasses were the bets they said. We won them fairly. It’s not like we robbed them.”

“You stop talking. It’s so embarrassing.”
